The Evolution of Flexible Wear, Current “Best Practices” & Materials (AONDA!) [#R054]

In this episode, Adam & Paul speak with Dr. Jessica Crooker of Scituate Harbor Vision in Scituate, MA.

We discuss how the notion of flexible wear has evolved over the past 50 years (yes, the concept has been around that long!) and the current ‘state of the art’ in flexible wear products.

We turn our attention to AIR OPTIX® NIGHT & DAY® AQUA lenses, how they fit into this pattern of material and design evolution, and discuss the patients most likely to succeed with this modality.

If you have any questions for Dr. Crooker (clinical, practice management, or otherwise) fire away in this thread!
